The images appearing on this site have been digitally coloured and edited to enhance details.

Adding colour to a black and white photo does not intend to replace the historical and intrinsic value of the original. This site's purpose is to foster and encourage interest in history by presenting a different perspective of the past.

Although colours may appear to be realistic and authentic they may not be 100% accurate. All images should be viewed as digital art and not an absolute representation of what existed when the original pictures were taken.
